A six-year-old fan of Liam Gallagher had the surprise of his life when the rock and roll star praised his haircut on Twitter.

Gabriel Fulton has always had his locks trimmed by his hairdresser dad Jonathan, owner of David and David salon on Mayflower Street.

Father and son are both big Oasis fans, so Jonathan decided to tweet front man Gallagher with a photo of his son's Gallagher-inspired barnet, but to the pair's shock Liam actually replied.

'Liam, my little lad is so excited to see you for his first time in Plymouth. He's swaggering round the house giving it the biggun already,' Jonathan wrote.

Liam replied: 'Ha ha good haircut'.

Gabriel's aunt Claire said: "Gabriel's been a fan of Oasis for forever. He loves them. The concert will be his first ever gig, he knows all the words and he's so excited, he's been bouncing off the walls."

As the creator of his son’s signature “rock & roll-style” hairstyle Jonathan was over the moon with the praise from the famous rock legend.

Fan Jamie from Manadon had his pre-order code ready and his card details already inputted on his laptop in anticipation, but was still left empty-handed.

"It's pretty disappointing," he said. "I've been on the internet since before 10am this morning. The countdown went to zero, I refreshed the page and it said tickets were unavailable. They must have gone in seconds."
